I suspect this is going back to the roller cam, then. You know, quicker opening and quicker closing valves. And then of course you need the roller rockers.
It always comes back to that, doesn't it? How I wish this was do-able.
Bob, when you say "two piston rings" do you mean just a top compression ring and an oil control ring? And would that top ring be a gapless?
Did any of you see Hot Rod's article about boring a late Chrysler block into the water jackets and then siamesing thin sleeves in place? Radical work there. But picture this being done with a spacer plate, also.
Big motor. Long rods.
